ltsp_config hanging in NFS_root environment

[Ondar]

Binary package hint: ltsp-client

Startup procedure never returns the ltsp_config script when booting from NFS method is used.
Further investigation shows, that the problem is in this line:
nbd_pid=$(pgrep -f $(cat /proc/mounts|grep /rofs|grep nbd|cut -d" " -f1) 2>/dev/null)
when I comment this line out, the initialization procedure finishes correctly.

Note: when I run this script manually from within a shell, it returns fine even with the line above enabled.
It only affects Gutsy.

Hi Oliver,
Well, I boot from RHEL so my pxelinux config file is stored on a
different location. Anyway - here is it:
prompt 0
label linux
  kernel ltsp-gutsy/vmlinuz
  append rw initrd=ltsp-gutsy/initrd.img
nfsroot=192.168.60.17:/pxeboot/ltsp-gutsy

Ondrej

I can confirm this bug. When not using nbd, the ltsp_script makes the screen script to exit. Because a variable is empty, pgrep -f faile. Attached, there is a patch to correct this. This patch have been tested on nbd setup, and nfs setup.

Sounds good, we'll get this in for Hardy. Not sure on the process for/if we can patch it for Gutsy
